WOOPWOOP! Chapter eight! Oh I loved it did you love it? - i loved it!!! But OMIGODCLIFFHANGER! Lol. That's some mighty good levitation that patient boy is doing. NO WAY did Ron chose Hermione over food. That spells true love. Hmmm. I love food. I wonder if there's some food about... nibbly bits... anyways, YAY on chapter eight and I'll try not to bother you too much for chapter nine honest! Good luck in your a levels and getting into uni - not that you'll need it - they'll be lucky to have you. And I need you - did I mention that? Love you loads - Hilary x x x x x x

omigosh since when was there a dedication to me? And since when have i not reviewed some of these chapters??? (btw this new 'one review per chapter' type thing is really graining on my wick). Haha I said wick. Anways. i need to read on and get to chappy 8! so toodles!!!

Oh wow! I loved this! I was just perusing TDA's request board and saw this request and i wondered whether 'Stars' related to the Les Mis song - and whaddayaknow, my instinct wins out! I love Les Mis so much, I think I may have to go in search of this challenge you're writing for to indulge myself ;P

And, before I waffle on about my life story so much that it bores you to death, this was really well written! I think it's really interesting that you wrote it in second person (is that right?), it's really effective and makes me empathise with Barty Snr alot more. I also love that you've subtly used Sirius Black as a metaphor to how Barty feels about his son, very clever against a backdrop of Les Mis lyrics! (ooh get me and my literary jargon!)

In summary - brilliant, keep doing what you're doing, I can't believe this doesn't have more reviews, maybe its because i understand the context of the song *is les mis obsessive*

anyways, good luck with getting a banner and keep writing, I hope you do well in the challenge (although I might be a little biased!)

Author's Response: THANK YOU!!!

It just got validated last night, so that might be why you're the only review, so far. Thanks for being so flattering, you've just made my day. I wasn't really sure about this one (I finished writing and posted this at one in the morning) but I am feeling a lot better about it now. I only recently discovered I liked this song, and it just made me think about Barty Crouch. And then I entered the challenge, and just had to write it. And yes, it's second person.
